What life expectancy do components fulfil? Trust is good but calculation/simulation and checking are better.

The prerequisites for product integrity, i.e. for assuring the functions of the components in the long run, are a design appropriate for fabrication as well as fabrication technology optimised for welding technology. In this respect, designing appropriate for fabrication encompasses designing appropriate for welding, designing appropriate for fatigue, designing appropriate for testing and designing appropriate for corrosion protection.

The services for this purpose encompass:

Weld design

Strength of welded components

Fatigue strength investigations

Residual stress measurements

Simulation of residual stress and distortion

Weld quality / weld parameters

The entire repertoire of testing technology is available in order to check the product integrity:

Destructive tests

Non-destructive tests

Chemical analyses

Surface analytics

Metallography

Scanning electron microscopy

Corrosion tests

Fatigue strength tests

Hydrogen determination

Corrosion test

We offer the following services for fabrication by means of welding technology:
